ORDNEn, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented j -eertain new and useful Improvements in Dumping Wagons; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full and complete description of the construction and operations of thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure lis a perspective view of the wagon box, with my improvement, detached from the wheels. Figure 2 is a top view with the box removed. l Figure 3 is an end view of fig. 1. Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views. h My improvement relates to dumping wagons as hereinafter described. A represents a wagon box, of any;

suitable form or construction, placed on a frame longitudinal pieces 71. The frame F consists of side pieces f, with cross pieces extending between and secured to them. In the side pieces are arranged rollers e in slots. e able manner in the frame.

are fitted into the side pieces as represented. The box'A is placed on the frame between the guides c, )csting on the rollers e. The rollers are metal, and there is a metal strip i on each side of thebox where itrests, and f The box is held stationary on the rollers by means of s fastening N, that consists of a strap m connected to an eye, or staple j,

F. This frame is supported on bolsters, G, between which are l the shafts of which have their bearings in-a suit These rollers project a little above the top of the frame, so that the box A, when it I is placed on, rests upon them, The outer side of the side pieces extends up, forming guides c, on each side of the box. The frame F is held firmly in place, on the bolsters, by means of stakes h secured in the b'clster, that in one of the bolsters, and is placed at the other end onan eye 11,, I secured in the under side of the box. After the strap is adjusted on the eye n, by means of the slot' o ajhoolgn on the endof a chain m is inserted in the eye 11, thereby holding the strap upin place. The l chain is attached to the end of the frame F. By this adjustable fastening the box is prevented from moving on the 1 he hook isremoved from the eye n, and the strap let down: @The i J.L.ORDNERr i r Y
